2019 NFL Predictions Week 1 – New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys Free Pick

Game: New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys
Line: Cowboys -7.5 at Bovada Sportsbook
Total: Over/Under 45.5
Where: AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas
Time: 4:25 PM EST
Date: Sunday, September 8th, 2019

The New York Giants come into this 2019 NFL season looking to bounce back from a dismal 5-11 season last year. That came on the heels of a terrible 3-13 season in 2017 as the Giants have hit rock bottom since going 11-5 in 2016.

Giants head coach Pat Shurmur looks to get the Giants back to playing physical football on both sides of the ball. Shurmur has one of the league’s best running backs to rely on as 2nd year back Saquon Barkley is a flat out stud. Barkley rushed for 1307 yards and 11 touchdowns last season with a 5 ypc. He also caught 91 balls for 721 yards and 4 touchdowns. As crazy as it sounds, he may be asked to do even more this season after the Giants traded wideout Odell Beckham Jr in the offseason.

Defensively, the Giants must get a lot better if they want any hopes of challenging for a playoff spot this season. The defense ranked 24th in the NFL in total defense last season and 23rd in scoring at 25.8 ppg. The defense should be bad again but has a chance to be slightly better as the Giants had a strong draft. Don’t expect much improvement though.

The Dallas Cowboys are coming off of a NFC East Division title last season when they went 10-6 overall. It was the Cowboys’ 3rd division title in the last 5 seasons but that hasn’t translated to much postseason success.

The Cowboys front office, coaches, players and fans all expect this Dallas team to make a run at the Super Bowl this season as they do have one of the NFL’s best young rosters. The offense is very balanced and running back Ezekiel Elliot is arguably the best running back in the game between the tackles. The passing game has a chance to be improved with the addition of veteran tight end Jason Witten who came out of retirement.

Dallas’ strength as a team is their defense. The unit ranked 7th in the NFL in total defense last season and has some real difference makers. We love middle linebacker Jaylon Smith who is all over the field and makes things happen. Smith along with linebacker Leighton Vander Esch give the Cowboys arguably the best pair of young linebackers in the NFL.

Dallas has won the last 4 meetings between these two teams and is 4-0 against the spread. However, our money is going down on the Giants +7.5 in this game. The Giants are going to be improved this season and they rarely get blown out against the Cowboys. In fact, only 2 of the last 9 meetings between these two teams have been decided by more than 7 points. Take the points.

Bet on NY Giants +7.5 at Bovada Sportsbook.
